Channel 13...Rhoads to ASU?

Maybe Rhoads doesn't want a raise? He seems to always stress the importance of improving facilities and the impact they have on recruiting. He may want that extra million we are saving to go to facilities to get us there just a little faster. Rhoads doesn't strike me as a person who cares about money. Winning and developing young men seem to be most important to the man, which is what I respect most about Coach Rhoads. And even as a lower paid BCS coach, I don't think he is hurting for money.
If Rhoads up and left this program, would I be wrong in being more ****** at Rhoads for leaving than Chizik?
I've lost faith that a raise and contract extension will keep a coach; maybe for an extra year. Any good coach can be bought. Houston's Sumlin got a raise and huge extension one last year; and they have a lot of money.
I don't think you'd be wrong for that. However, I would be shocked and very much let down if he left.
[How do we know a raise has not been give or an extension been give. Jamie does a lot of things with out asking fans what they want. I guess some Hawks on this site are not happy. I wish they would take away all the $100.00 of 150.00 season tickets and raise everyone season tickets by $100.00. We would than know who the fans are.
If that's wrong then we both would be wrong. Rhoads has shown to much passion for ISU and said too many things to lead us to believe he will be here a long time. If he left, IMO, everything he has said would be a farce and I would feel like we were used. It's not just the winning that is making his name pop up. It's the type of coach he is. It's the type of emotion he shows that really translates to college sports, especially at ISU because you have to find something to make up the talent gap. In our case we do it, for the most part with passion, emotion and intensity. I would feel like that was "faked", for lack of a better term, while he was here if he left so soon for a place like ASU or Illinois. If it were Alabama or Florida or Ohio or something like that, I may not feel that way. You can do as much at ISU as you can at Illinois or ASU and with the new money coming in, you can make as much. It would break my heart to see him leave and yes, I realize that is somewhat pathetic.
Just because they are interested does not mean they will offer and he will take it.

I don't see it as pathetic. This is a guy we've all bought into because of who he is. Most of us would be crushed if that happened.
But I don't see it, not for these schools.
Someone in another thread (or maybe earlier this thread) said she's an ASU alum. Just repeating what I heard.
